Spotted: Cobra Fly Z+ Forged irons

Cobra’s new Fly Z+ Forged irons, the apparent successor to Cobra’s Bio Cell+ irons, were spotted at the 2014 Hero World Challenge in Rickie Fowler’s bag by way of his 3-iron.

The Fly-Z+ Forged irons are part of the new Fly-Z line from Cobra, which includes drivers, fairway woods, hybrids and irons. Fowler also made the switch to Cobra’s new Fly-Z+ driver and fairway woods.

The stock Fly-Z+ drivers have a 15-gram sliding weight in their FlipZone, which moves the center of gravity either forward or rearward depending on a golfers’ preference. Fowler looks to have a lighter, 10-gram weight in his 9-degree driver based on the stampings.

Let’s hope they feel better than the bio cell+ irons, which were not forged and were the harshest feeling irons I have ever hit.

Puma should just shut Cobra’s doors. No innovation there at all, any more, except for fancy colors.

  Cobra should just shut their doors? Because YOU say so? Somehow, you’re expecting some massive innovation from Cobra but not the other equipment companies. Innovation in golf in 2014 is in extremely tiny increments.
  I’ve heard that the new driver is easy to hit and LONG. The Amp Cell Pro was an incredible driver that added distance and accuracy to my game. If the G30 wasn’t slightly longer, it would still be in my bag.
  Before making statements like “they should shut their doors, no innovation at all”…maybe you might actually try the product?

  You have to have something better to do than troll a golf site. At least go down and pick up your unemployment check or food stamps.

Amp Pro Forged are in my bag, and after seeing the 3 iron, they’ll still be in my bag.

  Bear in mind there are also the fly-z pro forged coming out which are the successor to your amp pros.

    Much love for the Amp Forged Pro. Will be hard to depart from them. I was suspect about Cobra as I too wouldn’t look very cool in a flat brimmed cap (I’m 44). However, these irons are the most solid I’ve hit. I’ll play them until Pelz can’t make a sound with his thumb nail on the 3 iron.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.

That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.

On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”

On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”

“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Check out Shipley’s full what’s in the bag and the rest of his wedge stampings here on “Inside the Ropes” from Colonial.
